E104-3

Posted By: Robert A

I'm not sure how much this set has been discussed on this board in the past (I presume several times). I searched the past posts and couldn't find that much info. At any rate, it seems that there are quite a few fascinating possibilities with this set! Since the set was issued somewhere around 1910 or 1911 and features several players from Detroit and New York, does that make Cobb , Mathewson, and Marquard possible future discoveries? 33 cards sounds like such a wierd number for a set.

Would someone be willing to post a scan of a card from this set?

Jay i think Glen was showing one of each e104 card(1,2,3),hence the title one of each type.

you are right. I didn't even notice his message or the Pittsburgh after Adams. Guess old age is setting in.

Are those "BeerBoy" clips home videos of Lee as a child? He sent me one today and I saw some similarities.

scott, that was me. That kid is much to small to be Lee. The video of Lee is one of him cruising the streets of San Fracisco in the Castro District.

How rare are the E104-3s, and what sort of price expectation might one expect to pay for common cards from this set in better than VG-EX grade...?

It's been so difficult for me to find these cards, that I don't worry about the grade when I do. Prices depend on whether or not the card is a hall of fame player or not.

Some collectors say it's hard to say whether the e104-3s are more rare than the other two types, but they have been in my experience.

I know that a couple of board members have made some recent discoveries with this set which is exciting.
You can check out Pete Calderon's www.caramel-cards.com for more info. on the set.
